Where the Credit Belun gs.


Mr. Curtis derives some announcement from
the attitude of public sentiment toward reform.
There is truth in this, but it ought to be added
that the maintenance of public sentiment in
favor of reform has been ccomplished, not by
the exertions of most of the avowed civil-service
reformers. but in spite ot them. The worst in
jury which has come to civil-servIce reform has
been in the house of its friends. The heaviest
blow which has been dealt to it has been the
hypocritical pretentions of the present admin
istratiou, sustained by the specous and insincere
apologies of mugwumps masqueradlng re-
formers. If the National Ciyil-service Reform
League and it's affiliated associations had been
honest in their criticisms, watchfu in their OBJ
servations, and candid in their statements of re-
suits, they would have accomplished a great
deal of good and would have held the public
confidence; but most of the leaders, from Mr..
Curtis down, have shown themselves to be
apologsts for the President first, and friends of
the reform afterward. II there should ever be
q strong reaction against the reform, it would
be due to the insincerity and double dealing of
its avowed friends more than to any other
cause.

Mrs. Liver,nore's Husband and Home.

Boston Advertiser.
Mr.. Livermore is the ideal of country gen.
tleman, man who takes far more pride in all
that he has urged upon his wife's ambition than
would be possible to her. who, living a
life of leisure now, looks back upon record OF
earnest work and definite achievement in his
earlier years. In Merose, the pretty Boston
su burb where the Livermores live, every body
knows that Mr.. Livermore is q far more ardent
advocate of all that makes for the advancement
of women than Mrs. Livermore. Her position
is conservative beside his. He is the most stanch
and manly supporter possible of the theory that
women were meant to occupy a sphere larger and
freer than civilization has yet imagined Mrs.
Livermore often says that she would
have accomplished what she has
been able to do if her husband had not been
such radicsl!" 1t is difficult to speak dis
creetly of the beauty of Mrs Livermore as a
their golden wedding in a few years more. and
all who know the happy pair will wish to
dance on the green" at their home when that
time comes. The Livermore home at Melrose
is large, pleasant house on Emerson strest,
shaded by old trees and surrounded by a lawn
that is earliest ard latest in the spring and
autumn Of any in the town. Back of the house
is a pond, or, her visitors from distance
call it, little lake, which adds to the aii.t
charm of the landscape picture from che
northern side of the lawn. Books all over
the house. and especially in Mrs Lvermore's
own room dc they abound, in the nook, the work
shop where she thinks and writes. They are
working books too. books that mean larger life
and sympathy and usefulness for their reader.

William desires to consult with Emperor Francis

not on political, but family and personal
grounds The conversation of the two
Emperors will probably touch only the mere
fringe of European politics. The meeting was
necessary in order to openly declare the main

both Emperors are too much averse to interior

any independent initiative Emperor William

breeds of poultry and had come from England
to enter into quiet partnership with Mr.. Van
dsrbilt to show the wealthy American gentleman
how much money could be made out of the
higher grades of chickens. Under his direction,
it is said. Mr.. Vanderbilt has invested nearly
500 900 in his little experiment, and some time
since had 1900 fowls and any
number of incubators of every kind Tams was
a sweet and eloquent talker and following his
inspiration, quite number of moneyed gentle
men were drawn into the craze, ana Tams did
all the purchasing of the stock. Mr. Delaney
Kane filled his poultry-houses at New Rochelle,
Robert Colgate stocked his place near Quebec,
j. d. Cheever became large purchaser of fancy
English breeds for his country seat at Rock
away, and even the grave Cyrus w. Field went
into the business of fowls, incubators and breed
ers. When Tams had got the craze fairly start
ed he about controlled the market for fancy
breeds, and whatever he has carried away with
him from the sale OF Mr.. Vanderbilts magnifi-
cent collection has been largely supplemented
by the dealings which the shrewd Englishman
has had for year past with the rich and care

the consequences OF M. katkofs death, do not
